Dr. Pastel the New Dr. Phil, Eager to Offer Advice, Toilet Training Tips

Los Angeles CA (GSP). Dr. Amar Pastel has recently been tapped to replace the popular television psychologist Dr. Phil McGraw, while McGraw is on vacation.

Some have questioned whether Pastel’s selection was truly based on his own merits since McGraw will be staying at Pastel’s summer home in Calcutta during his vacation. McGraw’s publicist has insisted that Pastel is a reputable doctor, who provides the compassion, wisdom and advice the Dr. Phil audience craves and deserves.

Pastel announced this morning that he is excited to take the reins of the Dr. Phil Show juggernaut and toss the audience a wise mix of diet tips, toilet training methods for infants and geriatrics and, of course, relationship advice. While Pastel has not seen clinical work for a while, he is confident he will pick up where he left off from his original pediatric sleeping research clinic.

“The years of medical school may come in handy after all,” he joked. He said, “I think people will like my style. I will not be afraid to tell it like it is and call a spade, a spade. If you thought Jerry Springer was exciting, just wait till you see me. I've been watching Richard Gere in Pretty Woman and I am learning how to treat prostitutes without falling in love with them.”

Network publicists have been trying to dub Pastel as a mixture of Maury Povich’s sexy looks, Judge Judy’s voice and the “tough-love” approach of Steve [from the Jerry Springer show] packaged in Montel Williams’ skin color. They have been publicizing his style as the proverbial “Oriental wisdom” complete with exoticism and mysticism that so characterizes Oriental advice.

Pastel’s agent has said to not be surprised if Dr. Pastel quotes Confucius one moment, offers some Zen Buddhist proverbs to stop the tears and then "cusses out the tramp" the next.

Early market research has only been lukewarm. To combat this, the network has mentioned that Pastel will undergo extensive speech therapy to remove his heavy Asian accent by air time, making him even more palatable to the average American viewer.

GSL Enterprises who own exclusive rights to Dr. Pastel’s public and private appearances have given Pastel and Dr. Phil their blessing. It is expected Dr. Pastel will prescribe GSL chamomile healthcare products for most problems.

Dr. Pastel can be seen on Dr. Phil’s regular slot, Wednesday’s 3:30-4:30pm EST.
